Our Mercy Cares serves as a school-wide initiative with student representatives/leaders, faculty and administration planning and leading the way with service projects throughout the school year. Mercy Cares engages our school community in ‘acts of kindness’ and ‘service toward others.’ Through the program, the SMS community’s good work and efforts are instrumental in sharing our faith and the teachings of Christ’s Church and reinforces the beliefs in charity and justice.
